Chapter 95 The Sect Masters Arrival (1/2)
” So, why can't you leave?” Levi asked after a bit of silence.
After hearing the demon saint's explanation, he retained his original opinion of people.
' So in the end, this man was still doing this not for his daughter, but for himself.' He thought silently.
As he thought about this, his expression dimmed as his brows furrowed.
' Why am i even disappointed?...This has nothing to do with me....' He thought.
But even though he convinced himself of this, his frustration only grew.
”....We can't leave because of the soldiers. For what ever reason, they don't allow us to...” After calming himself down, the man replied.
” Oh. Is there anything else i-this young master should know about?” Levi asked.
”....No. That was everything.” After thinking for a few seconds, the man replied.
” Go back for now. This young master will find you when i am ready to leave!” Levi spoke in an unquestionable tone.
”...Ok.” As he heard Levi's voice, the man slowly nodded.
Just before he got back onto the street, he looked back at Levi, silently praying that he wouldn't forsake him.
' I need to prepare.' Levi thought silently, as he walked from between the two buildings.
' What do you think, demon saint?'
' Hmm, we only have limited information, and asking around would be suspicious.' The demon saint thought aloud.
' If those soldiers are really a part of this then....' He went silent.
' All of the inns you went to were full, right?' The demon saint asked.
” Yes?” Levi answered.
' Let's pay them a visit to see if there are any open rooms now.' The demon saint said.
...
Night time.
' I just have to kill them?' Levi asked.
He stood in front of a large building.
The door was closed, but he could still hear the voices of multiple people.
' Yes, and do it quickly. You still have to pay the other inns a visit!' The demon saint shouted.
'...' Levi's hands, from the wrists down slowly became black.
They doubled in length, as they became hard and sharp.
Dling!
He pushed open the door, causing the bell hung above it to ring loudly.
” Huhh?”
” What the hell?”
” Who is this long hand freak?”
” Hey, didn't you see the 'full' sign on the door?”
” Get lost! This place is full!”
Multiple men wearing different colored washed out robes sat at some round wooden tables.
” 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.” Levi's gaze shifted, as he counted softly.
” Oi, didn't you hear us?” One of the men asked, as he put down his large wooden mug.
The others also put down their forks and spoons, as they looked at Levi.
” Oh, sorry, i came to the wrong place.” Levi said, as he turned around.
” Humph! What were you saying now? Something abo-”
The tips of Levi's fingers grew out into tiny black threads, as they shot out.
Thump! Thump!
The sound of bodies falling, along with plates chattering rang out.
The men fell over one after another, black threads imbedded in their foreheads.
As the men fell, Levi released the tension in the threads, causing them to sag losely.
” You!!!”
A loud shout caused Levi to turn around.
” I missed one....” Levi mumbled.
He made sure to remember their locations, but still missed one of the men in the end.
” Do you know who you just killed?! Do you?!” The man shouted, but didn't move from his seat.
' Dammit! I should have brought my sword! And fuck! Why did these guys let their guards down so easily?!' The man thought.
” I don't.” Levi said simply.
” Then li-” Before the man could finish, the thread that had passed right beside his head curved, before stabbing though it.
The tip of the thread passed through the back of his head, before sticking out through his forehead, as a bead of blood slowly dripped from it.
”...” Levi silently turned around to leave.
The demon saint told him not to absorb their blood, so he didn't.
' Am i really underestimating them?' He thought silently.
' Wait a minute!' The demon saint called out, causing Levi to stop.
...
' Hey! Heey!! Heeeeeeey!!!' The demon saint shouted.
”...What?” Levi asked coldly.
Last night, the demon saint had him running around, killing the soldiers in the different inns.
” Hmm?” Levi looked down, only to see a sea of people walking in one direction.
' Get inside the croud.' The demon saint said.
Levi jumped from the roof and landed inside the croud of people.
He walked along with them silently.
” Where are we going?” He asked a middle aged woman.
” Huh? Who's ugly brat is this? Get-” The woman was about to tall him to get lost, but Levi's cold glare caused those words to stick in her throat.
” W-We, are going to the main street...” The woman stuttered.
” You could have said that from the beginning.” Levi said coldly.
' Why did you glare at the poor woman like that? The people are just on edge!' The demon saint said, as he snickered lightly.
' That doesn't make it any less annoying.' Levi thought coldly.
Couldn't people just answer simple questions without all of the extra crap? He was begining to think not.
After a few minutes, they arrived at a wide street, this was the so-called main street.
In the center of the street stood a large wooden platform.
Instead of chairs, there was one large square cushion, with many smaller ones surrounding it.
The people stood in front this platform silently and waited.
” How long do we have to wait for?” Levi turned his head, but the middle aged woman was gone.
” I don't know. People in positions of power couldn't care less how much time they make powerless people like us wait.” A teenage boy with short black hair said.
A gloomy air hung over the boy, as he glared at the platform with gritted teeth.
Levi simply closed his eyes and crossed his arms silently.
' Do you want to know what i did go those soldiers?' The demon saint asked in a playful tone.
' When i asked, you said it was a surprise. I am not going to waste my time asking again.' Levi said.
' How boring. Hehehe, search around with mental energy.' He said.
Puft!
